C7       
One night
Gm                                 C7    
When me and my mom was about to go to bed
Gm                      
All the doors was locked
          Ab         Eb    
Then when I had fell asleep
                 Ab    Eb       
My mom had heard three gun shots
   C7               Cm              
It was to my cousin his name was Rod
C7                             
The one that came to pick me up
Gm          Abmaj7             Eb                        
He had been shot right through the face right in the neck
    Ab                       Eb7    
And he got shot right in the stomach

Right now I'm starin' out the window of my Range and contemplating am I sane
     Cm7                  
Have I sacrificed for fame
                   Cm      
My occupation's on my brain
                            Eb7                   
Thought that I could change it all if I had change
    Eb7                                                      
But the niggas that I came up with way back is still the same
  C7

Ab7         Eb7                                       
Of a pistol shot by brothers standin' pointblank range
C7             G7

[Chorus]
    C7              Cm7

C7                                                        
Niggas will risk everything point him out and then he dead

                                Cm7                        
The little girl I met this past summer said Don't forget me
Ab

Ab7                        Eb7                         
A bullet hit yo' cousin in Temple while he was with you
C7                Cm7                                        
And while you was talkin' I was tearin' up where's the tissue
Cm7                                       
If you was my sister then I would kiss you
                  Ab                                            
And tell you that I'm sorry for the pain you had to live through
